One critical difference for WAP phone browsing is that

chunks, and an effective navigation interface provided to move through
these. Fortunately we already have hierarchical subheadings and
paragraph breaks, so these can be used to "paginate" the WAP data
cleanly, rather than breaking it on arbitary boundaries.
I don't know that WAP is actually that important to consider. Mobile
phones are rapidly advancing technology that customers regard as
disposable, i.e. get a new phone every year or two for new features.
How are the numbers for WAP versus GPRS, i.e. proper Internet on
Opera or (soon) mini-Mozilla?
